Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 12, 1907.

- Application filed January 10, 1907. Serial No. 351,581.

1'0 all whom, it may concern.

Be it known that I, ETHEL ERT A. Rus- DEN, a'citizenof the UnitedStates, residing in the town of Warren, in the county of Bristol andState of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement inRolls for Finishing Paper and Textile Goods, of which the following is adescription.

Calender and mangle rolls have been made of various materials andvarious combinations of materials, such as paper, cotton, &c. Attemptshave been made to make them also of asbestos. All such attempts have,however, failed because of the impossibility of preventing the fiberfrom slipping upon itself and working out of the roll. By combining theasbestos with cotton -fiber in proper proportions, however, the cottonwill from its special structure and properties serve to prevent theasbestos from thus working out and destroying the roll and make it"possible at the same time to obtain a roll possessing the polishingeffect of the asbestos constituent-,thus, together with its fireproofpeculiarities, preserving the roll from destruction as the resultof theheat of friction.

The accompanying drawing represents the section of a roll having acentral iron or steel shaft A- through it and extending from the ends ofthe roll proper to rest in the bearings of a calender or other frame.

B represents the suitably-compressed mixture of cotton and asbestos.

In making the roll the cotton and asbestos are thoroughly mixedtogether, placed about 'the shaft A, pressed down by hydraulic pressure,and afterward turned down to the proper size in alathe in the usualmanner of. 1 making smnlar rolls of other materials.

I claim as my own invention A fimslung-roll composed of a mlxture ofcotton and asbestos, as described.
